Angels

Adell for Syndergaard? Please:)
Adell for Dustin May and Stripling?
Mark P
8:07
It's amazing in these chats how often Angels fans suggest trading Jo Adell.  He's not going anywhere.
Chris

Favorite recording is...
Mark P
8:09
Do you mean favourite album?  U2's Achtung Baby
GS

Any baseball movie recommendations that you can make while real baseball is on hold ? Thanks
Mark P
8:11
Beyond the obvious all-time greats like Sandlot, A League Of Their Own, Major League, etc., I'd recommend a movie called "Sugar" that came out in 2008.  Underrated gem of a film that details a Dominican prospect coming to play in the minors.

CDC has just issued guidance recommending that gatherings of 50 people or more not be held for two months.  Welp.
Mark P
8:12
Let's go ahead and set June 1 as the best-case scenario for Opening Day
A mute point
8:13
Read Proust. That will take up a few months!
Mark P
8:13
No thanks, I tried Proust in university and never again
Jay Lo
8:14
I'll do the MLBTR videos
Mark P
8:15
If this is Jay Leno, no way, we're not letting Jeff be Conan'd out of a job

If this is Jennifer Lopez, then Jeff, buddy, you're going back to writing
Cards!
8:15
Do you see Carlos in the rotation? Will he be durable enough?
Mark P
8:16
His spring numbers weren't great, but I think the Cards were projecting him to start, especially with the uncertainty about Mikolas.
WHY NOT ME!?
8:18
The name says it all. My only dream is get my question posted in a chat lol
Mark P
8:18
Today is the day!
Veteran hanging on
8:19
Do you think any veterans who were hoping to play one more year might decide to just retire now?
Mark P
8:19
Quite possible, yeah
Westworld
8:19
Are you a fan?  New season starts tonight!
Mark P
8:20
I watched the first season and thought it was okay, but it didn't hook me enough to come back for the second year.  Judging by the reviews, it doesn't seem like I missed much
Mj
8:21
Who do you think will get in for 2021 hof class,  any chance for Bonds or Clemens? Stay safe and thank you for the chat.   Much needed escape.
Mark P
8:22
Schilling was at 70% in the last vote, he should get over the 75 percent threshold this time.  Omar Vizquel was at 53 percent in the last vote and mayyyyybe could get inducted with a big one-year surge, but it's doubtful since I think a large segment of the voters just flat-out don't see him as a HOF-worthy player.

Bonds/Clemens I doubt will ever get voted in, they both seem to stall out at around the 60 percent level.

If Shoemaker stayed healthy all year what kind of numbers do you think he could put up?
Mark P
8:25
It's tough to project since Shoemaker has had so many injury issues, but the Jays would be happy if he a) stays healthy and b) ends up as a decent middle-to-back of the rotation type.
Questions
8:27
will Mookie Betts become a free agent if the season is not played, meaning Dodgers lost him even after what they paid for him?
Mark P
8:29
The fate of Betts and other free agents will be one of the top points of discussion if the season does indeed get canceled.  I'd imagine the Dodgers would get some kind of compensation (an extra draft pick or two?) if he did leave, though it's far too early to speculate about this scenario yet
Tanned Tom
8:29
A lot has been written about the Padres trying to trade Myers, but isn't the Hosmer situation far worse for them? What are their options? Platoon, trade after 2020, etc? Thanks.
Mark P
8:30
Myers doesn't have a no-trade clause, for one
Field of Dreams
8:30
I take it Yankees/White Sox in Iowa and Cubs/Cardinals in London is totally canceled.
Mark P
8:31
That's probably a safe guess at this point
DG
8:31
Here’s my wild thought: no regular season, everyone gets put into a 30 team postseason.
Mark P
8:32
So a team getting eliminated in some sort of first round would only play, say, a five-game season?
San Antonio
8:34
Do you think San Antonio will ever get a MLB team?
Mark P
8:34
I'd imagine they're on the semi-short list for possible expansion sites, though the Rangers and Astros would likely object to sharing their state with another team.
Hunter Strickland
8:36
Will I have to settle for a minor-league deal, and is there a chance it could be with the Nats if I do?
Mark P
8:37
Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic floated this possibility the other day, that Strickland would end up back with the Nats after all
bobwebb
8:37
Arenado to STL for Knizner, Liberatore, Carpenter, and Gorman, What say Ye?
Mark P
8:38
That's the kind of offer that would get the Rockies' attention, though I'd suspect they'd want a bit more
Michael Scott
8:38
Binge watch the office another time or got a new show for me?
